Words I don't want to hear in the campaign

Post by bob vernon »

Please candidates, do not use these words during the campaign. They mean nothing. Tell us what you really feel.

1. Common sense.
2. vibrant.

"Time for change", or any combination that includes the word "change". Let's face it, the only real change, is the change left in my pocket after all these pet projects are accomplished and I'd prefer it stays there.

Words like “transparency” and “accountability”, while good in concept have been trotted out so many times that they’ve lost meaning. I’d like to hear words like “integrity” and “honesty” and be able to believe that they actually hold some meaning to the speaker.
